Trickle down economics 101 my dude. If billionaires spend less money on taxes, they would create more jobs for the working class. If your bus ticket was tax deductable though, that would only enrich big bus, so that's why we can't do that
I like big bus and I cannot lie...
Well duh, every member of the working class with a huge lifted truck with a “blue lives matter” sticker is just one immigrant deportation away from getting their own private jet, so supporting the billionaires is a no brainer.
But think of all the jobs that will be created if Jeffry Bozo can get a tax break on his 62nd private jet! Why are you all so selfish!?

With shit like this going on we might want to make sure it's too expensive to be rich. For example, pages like homesoftherich can be an inspiring source of places to wreck, for all those who do not want to go full Luigi for one reason or another.
They got insurance. And their homes (in plural) are a fraction of their collected wealth.
Gotta start somewhere, a thousand annoying little flames together make a big fire.
Can I buy a Cessna 150 and deduct that from my taxes...?
Actually, kind of. So long as you charter it. I think Bush 2 got this passed for buying baseball teams too. Could be remembering wrong.
